Hi all I have recently asked about experiences of the Mirena coil following ovary removal, bleeding etc.

Consultant unable to find threads it has moved higher in my uterus. Radiographer said that I won’t be able to find threads. Awaiting doctors opinion for it to stay or go.

Is there anyone that has experienced this . Mirena has changed angle apparently.

I despair of coils a few years ago developed a pelvic infection very anxious.

Hi lovely,

My coil went wandering and has been found around around my abdominal wall. The consultant that i am under referred me for a ct scan to locate it. I am currently still waiting for surgery to get it removed.

The whole process for this has taken ages to get sorted. I have been in and out of A & E with pain and issues and each time it has been dismissed till my GP got in touch with my consultant. I will never be having a coil again.

hope you have a smoother ride, and they are able to locate it quickly
